EVOLUTION OF THE MD8000 PRODUCT LINE

First introduced in 2004, the MD6000 product line preceded the MD8000. Media Links has successfully deployed several MD6000 systems worldwide for a number of high profile, high value events. These include the 2006 FIFA™ World Cup in Germany and the 2006 Asian Games in Doha, Qatar. In both cases, MD6000 units were used extensively throughout the contribution networks to provide flawless, error-free transport of live video signals that were provided to broadcasters and audiences around the world.

Starting with many of the key technologies that were developed and extensively field-proven in the MD6000, the MD8000 has been designed to deliver a significantly expanded range of features to increase both flexibility and performance.

Chief among these is the migration to an integrated switching and transport multiplexing architecture, which gives network designers a much greater range of options for system layout. Each shelf in the MD8000 product line can function as a simple multiplexer or as an advanced switch.

As a multiplexer the MD8000 combines video, audio, telephony and file based/data signals into one or more high-speed optical links. As an advanced switch, the MD8000 can be configured as a multi-service switch to allow individual services to be extracted from incoming signals, distributed to one or more outbound signals, or delivered directly out of the shelf in their native video or other formats. In fact, because of the MD8000’s integrated ETHERNET signal routing fabric, both multiplexing and switching can be combined in every shelf for maximum flexibility and efficiency.

MD6000 systems pioneered the use of IP/ETHERNET encapsulation technology for error detection / correction and lossless/hitless protection switching; however, the transport interfaces were limited to POS SONET/SDH.

As long-haul networking technology has evolved, there is an increasing need to connect directly to native Ethernet/IP networks. The MD8000 systems address this need by offering both native Ethernet and native SDH/SONET network interfaces in a single, flexible architecture. Unique capability allows installation of both Ethernet and SONET trunk interfaces within a signal shelf and switching between them.

Technology for the MD8000 network interface includes GFP for SONET/SDH links with OC-3/STM-1, OC12/STM-4 and OC48/STM16 interfaces. For higher speed SONET/SDH interfaces 10Gb WAN Phy is utilized. Native Ethernet interfaces include 1GbE and 10GbE LAN Phy.

Additionally, the MD8000 includes a wide variety of user interface signals including: SD-SDI, HD-SDI, DVB-ASI, AES audio, 10/100/1000BT Ethernet, E1/T1 and OC-3/STM-1 with both copper and fiber interfaces through modular rear connector panels.

The MD8000 also allows integrated processing capabilities including JPEG2000 and H.264 encoding/decoding as well as frame synchronization.

SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENTS

The opportunity to utilize newly available technology to enhance product performance combined with the evolution of long-haul networking technology fostered the initiative to develop the MD8000 product line. Here are some of the specific improvements that are characterized in the new Media Links platform:

1. Many new long-haul, multiple-wavelength transport links have been optimized to use native IP/ETHERNET transport. This has resulted in significant cost reductions for carriers, and significant increases in operational efficiency, particularly for native IP/ETHERNET services. To fully capitalize on these developments, the MD8000 must interoperate successfully in this environment. MD8000 systems can use 1 Gigabit and 10 Gigabit LAN Ethernet interfaces as well as 10Gb WAN to take advantage of this flexible and less expensive transport infrastructure.

2. Video and data access systems can benefit from local access and edge switching as well as native video access interfaces. The MD8000 product line integrates media encapsulation/de-encapsulation interfaces, video codecs, data interfaces and stream switching in one shelf. In many cases this can provide a compact, single chassis solution where multiple shelf solutions were needed in the past.

3. Existing data IP routers from other suppliers, which have been engineered for a high volume of low bit rate streams, are cost-prohibitive for edge routing of high performance/bandwidth media, particularly HD video. In addition, testing has shown that these units may not provide the 100% quality of service, and low delay that broadcaster’s demand. MD8000 systems designed specifically for media offer cost effective 100% QoS, non blocking video steam and data switching similar to what legacy video/audio cross-point switchers offer.

4. Native IP / MPLS and self routing technologies present some challenges for high performance video traffic due to a number of factors. The main drawbacks include scheduling of bandwidth and a lack of native support for multicasting (thereby requiring an overlay technique). In these cases it is difficult to configure routes that ensure bandwidth is reserved for known future events (i.e. the football game this evening). The most effective method of managing these events is via a booking and scheduling management system. However, there is significant complexity in interfacing a network resource reservation management system to control a wide-area IP/MPLS network. MD8000 systems, combined with bandwidth management reservation and booking systems, can provide guaranteed service reservations as well as multi-point service distribution. (More on this later in Network Design and Implementation Section)

5. Some IP/MPLS switch fabric does not provide full bandwidth cross-point capability. This is due to the bursty nature of data services and systems have been designed where many ports share back plane bandwidth but are not capable of running simultaneously at full rate. MD8000 core switch fabric is non-blocking and full rate to allow complete utilization of all available bandwidth and has no limitations for multipoint signal distribution.

KEY FEATURES OF THE MD8000

1. 100% QoS

The MD8000 provides a Quality of Service level of 100%, meaning that the system is designed to have every bit of every video stream delivered intact and in the correct sequence to every destination all the time. Even when the system is fully loaded, all services will be transported without competing for resources – every video stream is managed to ensure that a complete, full bandwidth path exists from end-to-end across the entire network for the entire duration of that signal. Compare this with IP routers that have a design goal of a packet loss ratio of less than 0.1% (or if each node is heavily over-provisioned and under-loaded, perhaps 0.01%), which means that packets can be lost on every HD stream every second, and a ten second signal dropout eight times a day will not violate the router design constraints.

2. Integration with IP/ETHERNET transport systems.

No real networking system with regional or national scope can operate on a totally isolated basis, at least not economically. By integrating smoothly with existing core equipment, using standard protocols, MD8000 signals can easily coexist with other IP/ETHERNET transport equipment. (See figure 2). This can save significant amounts of expense for both equipment and network management, by avoiding the need to construct special circuits or tunnels for TDM and other specialized signal flows.

3. Core network compatibility.

As multi-national and transcontinental networks grow to meet the demands of data users around the world, the technology of choice for new installations is high-capacity IP/ETHERNET. These universal backbones can support any type of service, at a cost that is dramatically lower than earlier technologies such as SDH/SONET and PDH. The MD8000 is fully compatible with these new core networks, thereby avoiding the need to construct special overlays.

4. Native IP transport for native IP signal flows.

Avoids the headaches of translating IP services into a non-native form, and leverage the power of IP / ETHERNET to handle voice, data, video and audio services. Also, network links can be configured for specific bandwidth rates.

Figure 2. MD8000 Access Interface to Core Network

CATALOG

5. Integration with IP/ETHERNET switching systems.In most large multi-service networks, high-quality video services will only make up a portion of the overall system load. In many nodes along an end-to-end path, signals will need to be switched from one path to another, without requiring any local video inputs or outputs. At these switching nodes the service provider has the option of installing MD8000 or traditional IP/ETHERNET switching infrastructure. Generally, the MD8000 systems have an advantage where there is significant audio/video content and/or native video/audio interfaces (See figure 3)

6. Low end-to-end delay.

By avoiding the buffers, packet stores, and impediments introduced by probabilistic packet engines, the MD8000 can achieve incredible throughput on every port. Input to output delays can be measured in terms of microseconds, not hundreds of milliseconds.

7. Error detection and correction.

The MD8000 systems provide robust error detection and forward error correction which can be enabled or disabled on a per service basis. This can provide solid video performance even in degraded network conditions.

8. Lossless Hitless protection switching.

The most reliable network designs need to accommodate disasters that can happen in the real world – fiber cuts, power failures, human error, etc. That’s why the MD8000 provides completely lossless hitless protection switching on a wide variety of video and data interfaces, so that when disasters happen, your signals don’t need to suffer any interruption. Competing technologies may offer features such as “hitless”, “hot standby”, “fast re-route” and “automatic protection switching” but these services involve loss of signal/freeze frame for some duration up to and over 50 milliseconds. With lossless hitless protection switching, not a single bit of video is lost or delivered out of order, for outages lasting as little as a few milliseconds up to ones that may take weeks to repair. No other technology on the market can meet that level of performance, and no other company has as much experience with this advanced technology (See figure 4). Switching occurs between packets and the missing RTP sequenced packet is recovered from the protect path resulting in no loss of video.

STANDARDS BASED OPERATION

The MD8000 system is based on existing Ethernet standards as well as GFP/SONET/SDH standards. In addition, all video interfaces will be standard compliant to SMPTE’s 2022 family of video over IP standards. This includes both encapsulation and FEC. SDI, HDSDI, DVB-ASI and JPEG2000 encapsulated signals will all follow these standards.

EFFICIENT BANDWIDTH MANAGEMENT

Another key feature of the MD8000 is its ability to apportion bandwidth on any interface for specific purposes, both for current usage and for future planned usage. Several varieties of connections can be provided:

1. Video connections can be made with dedicated bandwidth at a constant bit rate, which ensures that no other applications will compete for those network resources.

2. Video connections can also be scheduled for a future time, with automatic checks made to ensure that adequate bandwidth will exist at the required time along the entire route. This prevents a current service from blocking a future scheduled event by occupying bandwidth on a limited capacity link when an alternative route could have been used instead.

3. Data connections can be made over dedicated bandwidth, with a firm upper limit on occupied bandwidth. If the data arrival rate at the input port exceeds the allocated bandwidth, then the excess data will be rejected and not be transported over the link. This is particularly useful for links over a carrier backbone that has a limit on total bandwidth. For example, if a wide area network connection is physically a Gigabit Ethernet connection, but only 500 Megabits of capacity have been purchased, the MD8000 can be configured to rate-limit a data connection over this bandwidth to ensure that the 500 Mbps limit is not exceeded.

4. Data connections can also be configured to use any bandwidth up to a user-defined limit on a port that is not occupied by other services. For example, a data port could be configured to share a 500 Mbps link with a 300 Mbps occasional video service. The data port would limit its own throughput to 200 Mbps whenever the video service was active (ensuring no possibility of overcrowding), but allowing data flows to reach 500 Mbps when the video services were inactive. This feature might be useful during preparation time for live events when large files need to be downloaded to a remote graphics server, or after the end of the event when raw footage needs to be retrieved from a remote server for archiving.

NETWORK DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION

There are 3 main Network Applications of MD8000 systems. The specific applications depend on the requirements and size of the network.

1. Metro or Local Private Networks

These networks are created entirely with MD8000 and Media Links compatible network equipment. These networks are primarily implemented over dark fiber or wave-lengths (See Figure 5). All switching in these networks is performed by the MD8000 layer 2 switch.

Video is switched by setting static entries in the outgoing switch port MAC table via a provisioning system or booking/scheduling system. Data is switched by setting VLAN forwarding and allowing dynamic MAC learning. All signals, data or video utilize 801.2P/Q VLAN IDs with prioritization.

The MD8000 is set as default to disable the broadcast (flooding) of multicast packets. In these networks, multicast destination MAC addresses are utilized so multiple receivers can be joined to a video stream without ever impacting the original received stream. So even for a unicast service, a multicast destination address is utilized.

Figure 5. Metro/Local Private Network

CATALOG

As mentioned above, services are classified as video (video, audio and high priority data) and low priority data. The user can set the VLAN priority of all signals; however video is always set as a higher priority than data. In each system a specific group of VLAN IDs is defined as data so the MD8000 system knows by VLAN ID if the stream is video or data. Video VLANs are not allowed to be provisioned for low priority data and visa-versa.

The MD8000 controller can then manage bandwidth on each outgoing trunk port and prohibit a user from over provisioning a trunk port with high priority traffic. Every time a video service is provisioned onto a trunk port the cumulative bandwidth is calculated. If the new service exceeds 97% of the trunk bandwidth, the new service is not allowed. Low priority data services are not calculated in the port table and allowed as best effort to pass when available bandwidth exists and can utilize the remaining headroom. Both the switch ports and trunk modules manage congestion by priority processing of high priority VLANs

2. Wide Area or Long Distance SONET/SDH Networks

These network operate in the same fashion as the private networks do however, the MD8000 switching and access equipment is connected via SONET/SDH networking equipment (See figure 6).

Since the MD8000 utilized Ethernet technology (GFP & 10Gb WAN Phy) packets are sent over the SONET or SDH network and the layer 2 switch can operate in the same way as mentioned above. 100% QoS is maintained for high priority traffic.

Figure 6. Wide Area or Long Distance Networks

CATALOG

It is important to note that booking/scheduling systems can be utilized so that the operator does not have to manually provision every link in order to get a service from one side of the country to the other. The scheduling system is initially set up to understand the bandwidth requirements of each video/audio/data service and the available bandwidth on each network link. In addition, specific links can be prioritized over others with user value setting or based on route miles. When a service is booked, the scheduling system calculates the route based on the preset rules and what bandwidth is available. At each video switching center along the route, the video stream is transitioned from an incoming trunk port to an outgoing trunk port, never transitioning back to baseband video, but staying in the Ethernet domain.

This achieves very low delay/jitter and provides very reliable service.

3. Wide Area or Long Distance IP Networks

In this case, the MD8000 serves in mostly an access capacity and core switching is handled by an IP/MPLS/ VPLS core network. The MD8000 equipment provides encapsulation and encoding/decoding functions as well as local aggregation/de-aggregation switching. The MD8000 hands of signals and receives signals from the core network (See figure 7). In these networks, QoS can be managed in two ways. The most reliable method is similar to what was used in the first two network cases. This is where the booking/scheduling system controls the signal path through both the MD8000 edge equipment and the IP routers in the core. In order for this to function, the scheduling system must have the ability to place MAC or IP entrees in the route tables of each router in the signal path. Again paths are determined based on shortest path or least hops or other customer entered value criteria. This may or may not be possible in all cases so a second case needs to be created.

A second method to manage QoS in these types of networks is by actively managing the MD8000 edge equipment and traffic engineering the core network. In this case, the core routes would need to essentially be static and communicated to the scheduling system ahead of time.

Figure 7. Wide Area or Long Distance IP Networks

CATALOG

However in this case the scheduling system has to manage multiple point to point connections (perhaps by VLAN) on a single or multiple ports, each of which go to different locations and could be different bandwidths. In the previous two network examples (1 & 2) each MD8000 port is only connected to a single other MD8000 port. However, not so in this case.

As long as the core behaves in the manor as described to the edge scheduling system, then the scheduling of bandwidth would be effective and QoS would be maintained (See figure 8). Again, if the bandwidth on a single VLAN as calculated by the scheduling system would exceed 97% of the capacity then it would not be allowed. The rule for 97% of the port capacity would also apply.

DESCRIPTION OF THE NETWORK BOOKING/SCHEDULING MANAGER

Through the use of a centralized network scheduling manager, the route for each type of signal can be directed through the system with just end point and service type selection from the user. The scheduling manager must be configured prior to use with the exact link capacities of the network and the service types that are going to be deployed.

One version of the scheduling system will be available in software form directly from Media Links; other versions can be purchased from well-known suppliers. Because of the MD8000’s deterministic switching and simple control interface, the task of interfacing the MD8000 to the scheduling system is much simpler than the task of interfacing the scheduling to a complex MPLS or IP routing systems.

MD8000 Series - 2 Port 100/1000BT Trunk Module

KEY FUNCTIONS:• Network Interface for MD8000• User Configurable Maximum Bandwidth Limits• Compliant with 802.3 Ethernet Standards

KEY FEATURES:• Operates at 100 or 1000Mbps• Wide Range of SFP Optical Modules• Separate status/error information for ports 1 and 2• Optical and Electrical (CAT-5) Interfaces, SC connectors on optical card• Optical Range of up to 120km, multi- mode or single-mode fiber• Front panel LED status and error indicators, including link status, LOS, power, temperature, TX/RX• Jumbo Frame support, up to 9022 bytes in length, including headers and FCS• IEEE 802.3 compatible, CSMA/CD Full Duplex access method

The Dual-Port Gigabit Ethernet Trunk module provides a flexible network interface module for all MD8000 series applications. This single card provides interfaces to two separate transport networks, each of which can operate at any of the popular Ethernet interface speeds of 100 Mbit/sec or at 1000 Mbit/sec. This flexibility gives network designers the ability to create a wide range of redundant or non-redundant network architectures that comply with all applicable Ethernet signal standards.

Both electrical and optical interfaces are supported. The MD8000-2GbE-E (electrical) version includes two standard RJ-45 electrical connections that can be used for full-duplex 100 or 1000BaseT applications. The MD8000-2GbE-O (optical) units are designed to provide two independent optical Gigabit Ethernet connections. These units require one Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) device for each of the two interfaces, which can be independently selected for the desired optical wavelength and distance from one of four choices.

The MD8000-2GbE module can be installed in any available slot in the 4-RU MD8000 chassis, the 7-RU MD8000EX chassis, or the 2-RU MD8000SX chassis. In combination with MD8000 signal interface cards and the flexible switch/controller units, many different types of media signals can be transported over common Ethernet network infrastructures. Full system configuration and alarm reporting is available through the extensive SNMP MIB and the Media Links Network Management System (NMS).

DATASHEET

1 x 10GbE, Single Port Ethernet Line Module with Hitless Data Switching

The 1 x 10GbE Ethernet line module provides 10GbE service across a single port with true hitless/zero second switching and path diversity for demanding data applications such as Remote Production/REMI.

KEY FACTS: • Compatible with MD8000 networking

equipment• True Hitless data protection using Media

Links advanced proprietary Hitless logic• Bi-directional Ethernet traffic• High throughput and low latency for

real-time applications such as remote production

• Auto or Manual resume for buffer resync

KEY FEATURES:• MTU Jumbo Frame support up to

9,026 bytes• Supports single 10GbE Ethernet port• Optical 10Gbps SFP+ interface, 10GBASE-

SR/LR/ER/ZR with full SFP statistics• 93.8% Committed Data Rate of

Tx RTP Stream • 512Kbyte FIFO buffer

APPLICATIONS: • Local access point-to-point data transfers• Lossless push-pull bi-directional

file transfers • Protected IP video transport • Remote production and remote integration• High speed / High reliability file transfers

As a line card in a MD8000 chassis, the 1 x 10GbE Ethernet module offers a single 10Gbps Ethernet port with hitless switching for uninterrupted, robust data service. The card provides bi-directional hitless switching for customer data traffic between endpoints while providing fiber trunk path diversity between those same endpoints.

The ingress 1 x 10GbE Ethernet line module encapsulates customer data into a single RTP stream at the transmitter site where resulting packets are then transported on two redundant fiber trunk paths to the receiving site.

The receiving 1 x 10GbE line card checks and aligns sequence numbers and timestamps in the RTP header on both received fiber trunk paths. It then chooses the best packet of the two received paths for de-encapsulation and egress to the customer interface. This allows the network to handle routine errors that may occur such as out-of-order packets, duplicate packets, and/or lost packets. When erred packets are detected, hitless, zero second switchover to the other fiber trunk path will automatically occur by the line module’s internal logic.

With a user-definable compression rate of 2Mbps to 150Mbps, the H.264 UVTX/UVRX card set gives customers the ability to fine tune network bandwidth vs. video quality to meet their own unique needs. The H.264 encoder operates in one of two different modes; either One GOP (Group of Pictures) or Multi-GOP modes. As part of the H.264 video compression standard, the GOP structure specifies how intra- and inter-frames are encoded. The three frame types used for encoding are I-frames (an independently coded picture), B-frames (bi-predictive coded picture), and P-frames (predictive coded picture).

One GOP encoding offers the highest video quality by using I-frame or P-frame only compression. One GOP mode can be applied independently to Ports 1 and 2 while Port 3 supports uncompressed SDI or DVB-ASI transport.

Multi-GOP encoding (Port 1 only) controls the number of frames in a GOP and can be set for One, Middle, or Long GOP sizes. Ports 2 and 3 support uncompressed SDI or DVB-ASI transport in this mode.

In addition, the H.264 line card processes up to four embedded audio groups using 16, 20, or 24 bit depth. Ancillary data, Forward Error Correction, Hitless Switching, and Auto Protection Switching are also supported.

AIF-2S – 4 Port / 2 Services AES Audio Module

KEY FUNCTIONS:• External interface to AES user circuits• Electrical Interface• Transparent connectivity with Robust FEC• Hitless Path Failure Protection

KEY FEATURES:• Two Bi-directional Services• AES Unbalanced Electrical Interface• Coax Interface, using 75 ohm BNC connectors• Tx & Rx in one Module• Low 8.6ms delay

APPLICATIONS:• Carrier Class Media Networks• High Performance Studio Interconnects• Flawless Contribution Audio Transport• Reliable Content Delivery Systems• Integrated Live, Recorded and File- Based Communications

The bi-directional AIF-2S module supports the widely deployed AES3 digital audio standard which was originally developed by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and the Audio Engineering Society (AES). Following the AES-3id specification, the user interface (electrical) to the AIF-2S module is via a 75-ohm coax cable. Within the MD8000 network, each AES stream can have a single or multiple unique destinations. Each AES stream consumes 4.8Mb of bandwidth.

On the transmit side, the AIF-2S module accepts two channels of AES audio, encapsulates the signal into Ethernet frames with or without Forward Error Correction (FEC), and transfers them to the MD8000 SW-CNT modules. On the receive side, the AIF-2S module accepts Ethernet packets from the MD8000 Switch Controller (SW-CNT) and provides two unique audio outputs.

To improve audio transport reliability and resiliency, the AIF-2S module supports both Forward Error Correction (FEC) and Lossless/Hitless path protection switching. The front panel of the AIF-2S module features a comprehensive set of LEDs for monitoring the status and health of incoming and outgoing audio streams.

AIF-4S – 8 Port / 4 Services AES Audio Module

KEY FUNCTIONS:• External interface to AES user circuits• Electrical Interface• Transparent connectivity with Robust FEC• Hitless Path Failure Protection

KEY FEATURES:• 4 Channel I/O• AES 75ohm Unbalanced Interface containing four input channels and four output channels• 15 pin D-Sub connector• Tx & Rx in one Module

APPLICATIONS:• Carrier Class Media Networks• High Performance Studio Interconnects• Flawless Contribution Audio Transport• Reliable Content Delivery Systems• Integrated Live, Recorded and File- Based Communications

The bi-directional AIF-4S module transmits and receives four channels of AES audio. As a source, incoming digital audio signals delivered to the AIF-4S card are converted into Ethernet packets and sent to the MD8000 Switch Controller (SW-CNT) module for forwarding to the wide area network. In the reverse direction, received Ethernet packets containing audio information are delivered to the AIF-4S card, converted back to their native AES audio format, and delivered to the attached audio equipment.

The AIF-4S operates in one of two different modes. Mode 1 allows independent encapsulation and addressing of each AES audio stream. Single AES streams can be sent to up to 4 destinations and received from up to 4 origination points. Mode 2 is provided for multi-channel applications like 5.1 audio. The AIF-4S can be configured to group 3 AES audio channels into a single Ethernet stream. This provides phase lock and equal latency for each of the channels. In this mode of operation, a single Ethernet stream is used for 3 AES signals and a second stream for the 4th AES signal. Mode settings can be applied uniquely to the transmitted and received signals.

To improve signal transport resiliency and reliability, the AIF-4S module supports both Forward Error Correction (FEC) and Lossless/Hitless path protection switching. The front panel of the AIF-4S module includes a comprehensive set of LEDs for monitoring the status and health of incoming and outgoing audio streams.

MD8000 - E1/T1 – 8 Port E1/T1 Line Module

KEY FUNCTIONS:• External interface to E1 or T1 user circuits• Clear Channel Transport• Transparent with Robust FEC• Hitless Path Failure Protection

KEY FEATURES:• 4 Independent Circuits 2x E1 or T1• RJ45 Connector Interface, balanced• Interface Impedance: 120 ohm (E1) or 100 ohm (T1)• Line Coding: AMI or HDB3 (E1) or AMI or B8ZS (T1)• Bandwidth: 4Mbps (E1) or 3Mbps (T1)

APPLICATIONS:• LAN Extension• WAN Access Circuit• Network Management and Telemetry• File Transfer

The E1/T1 module supports both SONET and SDH standards and can be configured to provide either local E1 or T1 interfaces. Equipped with 8 local interface ports, the E1/T1 module encapsulates each pair of local transmit interfaces into Ethernet frames and transfers them to the MD8000 Switch Controller (SW-CNT) modules. In the reverse direction, incoming Ethernet streams are transferred from the SW-CNT and sent to the output connectors as E1/T1 signals. To add resiliency to the signal transport, both Forward Error Correction (FEC) and hitless switching are optional for these streams.

The E1/T1 module is a double-width module that occupies two adjacent slots in a MD8000 chassis. The module provides uni-directional control of 4/8 E1/T1 services over the WAN. Two E1/T1 services are encapsulated into a single Ethernet stream in order to minimize delay and maximize bandwidth efficiency. The paired E1/T1 signals must be connected to the same destination.

The front panel of the E1/T1 module features a comprehensive set of LEDs for monitoring the status and health of incoming and outgoing audio streams. Using SNMP, the module is also fully manageable by Media Links’ NMS systems.

MD8000 – JPEG2000 Encoder/Decoder Video Module

KEY FUNCTIONS:• Dual Purpose SD-SDI or HD-SDI JPEG2000 Transmit or Receive• Supports Uncompressed HD or SDI Direct Encapsulation• Accepts DVB-ASI Burst and Byte Mode• Hitless Switch Protection

KEY FEATURES:• High Quality, User-Selectable Compression Rates for SD-SDI and HD- SDI• Very low video/audio latency, less than 2 ms• Uncompressed Audio Transmission up to 8 Channels AES and Ancillary Data• Built-in video generator and ID generator• Forward Error Correction (FEC)• 75 ohm BNC connectors for inputs (Encoder version) and outputs (Decoder version)• Available in standard JPEG2000 and SMPTE 2022 compatible versions (ARP/ GARP, Layer 3)• Operates over IP, SONET/SDH, or Metropolitan Ethernet networks• Fully transparent

Delivering extremely high quality HD-SDI or SD-SDI video signal transport with compression, the MD8000-JPEG video module can perform either as an encoder or decoder using JPEG2000 compression, a wavelet-based compression technique. The JPEG2000 is ISO/IEC 15444-1, Annex A. compliant and uses YCrCb 4:2:2 chroma subsampling and 10 bit JPEG2000 Part 1 video coding. In addition to video, the JPEG2000 encoder can pass up to 16 uncompressed embedded audio channels along with the V-Ancillary data, time code, and audio control. JPEG2000 9/7 irreversible compression may be used for both HD-SDI and SD-SDI video signals and is visually lossless.

Hitless Protection Switching can be enabled for any of the signals transported by the MD8000-JPEG module. This technology uses two identical output streams routed over separate paths to a single destination, where any errors on one stream can be avoided by immediately switching to the other stream. Forward Error Correction and Lossless/Hitless path protection switching are also provided for extremely robust signal transport.

HD video formats include 1080i and 720p (SMPTE 292M) and SD video formats include 625i and 525i (SMPTE 259M). The JPEG2000 video module is available in two different versions, a standard JPEG2000 version and a JPEG2000 2022 version which is compliant with the SMPTE 2022 standard.

A video generator (useful in circuit turn-up, testing, and troubleshooting) and an ID generator are built into the JPEG2000 encoder module.

A versatile and widely deployed MD8000 line module, the UVRX-2022 board is a “Universal” four port video receiver card that is compatible with SMPTE 2022 sources. The SMPTE 2022 specification describes a standardized method of encapsulating video signals for transmission across IP transport networks. The MD8000-UVRX-2022 is compatible with the following SMPTE 2022 compliant encoder (source) line cards:•MD8000-JPEG-2022 (in uncompressed mode)•MD8000-UVTX-2022•MD8000-UVTX-J2K-2022 (in uncompressed mode)•MD8000-VIF-2022•MD8000-VTX-4S-2022

The four Ethernet streams terminating on this line module can originate anywhere in the MD8000 network. All Ethernet packets sent to and received by this module are transferred across the MD8000 backplane via the Switch Controller module (SW-CNT). DVB-ASI output signals are reconstructed from the transparent Ethernet transport of MPEG2TS. Null packets within the ASI wrapper and are re-inserted at the destination matching the original DVB-ASI input signal. The MD8000-UVRX-2022 provides TR101-ETR290 performance monitoring and real time analysis of each DVB-ASI stream.

The MD8000-UVRX-2022 provides resilient Forward Error Correction (FEC) and Lossless/Hitless path protection switching for extremely robust signal transport. Multiple format outputs supported simultaneously.

The UVRX-2022 module can output the following uncompressed signal types:•DVB-ASI•SD-SDI•SDTI•HD-SDI•HD-SDTI•3G-SDI•3D dual-link

Can carry up to 8 audio channels• DVB- ASI output: MPEG2-TS, operates in byte or burst mode• Granular bandwidth allocation• Forward Error Correction (FEC)• Four 75 ohm electrical inputs, BNC connectors• Selectable VLAN priority

APPLICATIONS:• Carrier Class Media Networks• Flawless Contribution Video-Transport• High Performance Studio Interconnects• Reliable Content Delivery Systems• Integrated Live, Recorded and File- Based Communications

The VRX-4S module is a four port video receiver supporting SD-SDI, SDTI or DVB-ASI signals. As a receiver, the VRX-4S accepts Ethernet packets from the MD8000 Switch Controller (SW-CNT) and sends them to the appropriate video output ports. The four Ethernet streams that terminate on this module can originate anywhere in the MD8000 network. Each output port has the same functionality as a VIF-1Sch module.

The VRX-4S provides robust Forward Error Correction (FEC) and Lossless/Hitless path protection switching for reliable signal transport. DVB-ASI output signals are reconstructed from the transparent Ethernet transport of MPEG2TS. Nulls within the ASI wrapper are re-inserted matching the original DVB-ASI signal. Only CBR (Constant Bit Rate) is supported for the MPEG2 DVB-ASI transport stream.

The front panel of the VRX-4S module features a comprehensive set of LEDs for monitoring the status and health of incoming video streams. Using SNMP, the module is also fully manageable by Media Links’ NMS systems.

The VTX-4S module is a four port video transmitter supporting SD-SDI, SDTI or DVB-ASI signals. The VTX-4S transmits Ethernet packets to the MD8000 Switch Controller (SW-CNT) which then sends them to the appropriate trunk module and out to the wide area network. Each encapsulated Ethernet stream originating on this module is independent and can have a unique destination or multiple destinations in the network.

The VTX-4S provides robust Forward Error Correction (FEC) and Lossless/Hitless path protection switching (on the VRX-4S card) for reliable signal transport. In addition to uncompressed SDI or SDTI inputs, CBR (Constant Bit Rate) DVB-ASI signals in either byte or burst mode can be accepted by the VTX-4/s.

The front panel of the VTX-4S module features a comprehensive set of LEDs for monitoring the status and health of incoming video streams. On the rear interface card, an Active Output port is provided for signal monitoring. Using SNMP, the module is fully manageable by Media Links’ NMS systems.
